Los Angele coach Byron Scott said Jordan Clarkson has been working on his mid-range jump shot recently. The rookie point guard showed the fruits of that labor Wednesday night as he helped rally the Lakers to a 100-97 victory over the Utah Jazz.

While the Jazz may have given up the most valuable piece in their trade with the Oklahoma City Thunder, they have set themselves up with the opportunity to grow the team with an even larger future deal.

Utah Jazz coach Quin Snyder is trying to keep the Rudy Gobert love-fest under control. The 7-foot-1 Frenchman was already a fan favorite as a shot-swatting reserve, but the attention has increased since the organization traded away Enes Kanter and inserted Gobert into the starting lineup.

While there were worries the Utah Jazz might struggle to gain chemistry after trading away players, the team put those concerns at rest in a 92-76 win over the Portland Trail Blazers in the first game back from the All-Star break.
